My wife has been out and bought my son a blue England kit. I don't even know where to begin.Can someone please assure me there is no chance of England in blue and Italy in white on Sunday?

Italy (as the home team) have the choice, so if they choose white we're in all sorts of problems.
If they choose their away kit they should be banned from this and all future tournaments.
Good evening chode smokers. Ye must all be up to 90 with the final coming up and all. Hasn’t been a bad tournament, I missed most of the early bits but the knockouts have been good, especially the Italy and Spain semi. Best two teams in the final anyway, England have more behind the first 11 so I’d reckon they’ll do it. Hopefully so, and enjoy it - nice way to close out this pain in the hole of a past 18 months for ye.
Hacked.
Yeah, wtf, that's not the real Giggles.
More broken than Yev. Covid is decimating our ranks.
Maybe this is another Long Covid symptom?

Giggles
Use of 'hole' is authentic Giggles.
Why have both TV channels gone for the worst pairings they've got?
That's incredibly fucking sad.
Christ.
That can't be real, can it?
The line at the bottom is slightly ironic given that William Wallace died in 1305.
Obviously I hope Italy win this, but I feel like we'll be up against it playing in England.
Optimistic for the World Cup though, although it's unlikely France will bomb out a year from now.
League Two’s Tranmere beat Rangers today.
I'm a twit
It’s a friendly. West Ham drew with Dundee yesterday.
League Two though, against the Scottish champions. Cmon.
I'm a twit
Should be about the same quality then.
A top 7 side in the biggest league in the world drawing 2-2 with a team that finished 2nd with part time teams in its league last year. C’mon.
Rangers would have stayed up in the PL last year.
They would have. The bottom 3 were completely shit.
Up until March we had a chance but we did then utterly shit the bed. 2 points from the last 10 games was woeful. I was quite glad that Parker buggered off at the end, to be honest.
You want England to win for the scenes in London tomorrow, but if they couldn't handle the pressure against Scotland they'll probably shit the bed tbh.
I'm extremely confident England are winning tomorrow. 2 or 3-0.
If Grealish starts and Italy wear blue then England will win. Otherwise, no.
Good luck tonight Emi Martinez
I haven't paid any attention to this, but Brazil look like they have quite a good squad again. Having Casemiro and Fred as your central midfield whilst Fabinho warms the bench must be some sort of in-joke though.
Not many Euros games have been worse than this. Looking forward to Brazil getting merked by Norway or someone in Qatar.
Nearly 40 fouls
Yeah, a South American team getting past the last 16 will be a shock
Messi
Lovely pass by De Paul too.
I thought Neymar wasn't going to cry but the waterworks are open for business.
Brazil getting what they deserve for starting fucking Richarlison and Fred in a final.
That was worse than any single game of the Euros we're having now.
I think Neymar crying because he didn't get his own way again is the most beautiful sight in football. Bunch of overrated toss.
Do they still have Tité as a coach? He always had his favourites, to the exclusion of all logic. Bit like Deschamps avec La France.

Lovely piece.
Predictions for the big one? I really can't see past a sweaty victory either way.
There's a fair chance it's going to be pissing down at Wembley tonight.
Why do you think this?
What I'm struggling with is how we bring the Italian line up to get behind them and how we minimise the Italian midfield from playing through us (namely Jorginho).
With passion and/or the all out defence low block.
"Mingzy and Coads" up front for the last 10.
I may have been several vodka tonics deep at time of posting.
I do think England will win though. Better at both ends of the pitch, who cares what happens in between? For all Italy have looked good, it's not like they've been creating loads in open play. I do worry that Stones or someone will have a moment which will lead to the same sort of goal as Italy's first in the Belgium game but that's about it.
I'm sure Mancini knows that Emerson vs Walker/Saka is a hell of a mismatch so I'm interested to see what they do about that.
Home crowd, set pieces, bench options, youthfulness, freshness all favour England too imo.
I've got England winning on Pens in my head and that will definitely finish everyone off.
I still think England will win.
England really should win, Italy have had their best performances in the group stages and never looked that impressive afterwards. What could trip England up, I think, is if Italy improves upon the Danish recipe - in the first half they found a lot of space in the middle of the park with direct passing and little flick-ons, they just hardly ever created proper attacks out of it. Italy have more of a cutting edge in those areas, so if somebody like Insigne turns up that might be trouble.
2-1 England is still more likely, I'd say.
Ribs and wings in the slowcooker. Mrs suggested getting a Pizza like some Vespa shagging Vineyard merchant, so she's in the shed until the morning.
It's coming home.

As in, in England's favour?
That side is definitely the interesting one. Sancho in the space behind Emerson could be interesting but maybe Saka is the safer bet to track his runs.
